Overheating
V-shaped engines can be prone to overheating if there is an issue with the cooling system, such as a failing water pump, clogged radiator, or faulty thermostat.
Oil leaks
Common issues in older engines include oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.
Efi system problems
The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system can suffer from issues such as faulty sensors, dirty fuel injectors, or a failing fuel pump, leading to poor engine performance.
Exhaust manifold leaks
The V8 engine may develop exhaust manifold leaks, causing noise and exhaust fumes in the engine bay.
